Castelia City
DESCRIPTION -
Welcome to Castelia City, known as 'A City of Grandeur'. There's essentially no real limit of things to do here, or places to see. Is battling your thing? Then the Castelia City Gym - the 3rd on your Unova journey - or the Battle Company is for you. Fancy a boat ride? Castelia has five different boat piers at its southern end, each going to a different destination. Or perhaps you could simply enjoy a walk around the City, content with a Casteliacone. If you want it, odds are, Castelia City has it.
LOCATION -
Castelia City is located in southern central Unova, with only two ways to get into the City(without flight) - Skyarrow Bridge to the east, and Route 4 to the north.
PEOPLE -
Being the second-most populous Unova City(after its northern neighbor, Nimbasa), Castelia City has a wide variety of people, from all walks of life. From Clerks to Sailors, this City has - and will - see(n) it all.
RESOURCES/EVENTS/PLACES OF INTEREST -
Skyarrow Bridge - If you're heading in from Nacrene City, then this bridge is the only way to get into Castelia. A walkway is suspended above a busy road, with cars going back-and-forth on it(if you were to look down). With the Royal Unova sailing underneath the bridge, it's possible to see a number of breathtaking views from practically any angle.
Castelia's wharf - The wharf is situated at the southern end of the City, almost taking up the entire southern end. The Pokemon Center/Mart building can be found here, as can the Battle Company and Passerby Analytics HQ.
Battle Company - This Company is one of the leading researcher groups concerning any and all battle items. Not only do they develop the very items that you'll use on your journey, but they'll be glad to challenge you to a battle while you're here.
Passerby Analytics HQ - Situated near the Castelia City Gym, the people here are always willing to give out surveys to those who pass by(their logo is '...People pass by as they walk along.'). Who knows? Maybe your input could help to develop better items one day~.
Ocean Side - If one were to look at the five piers on this side of the City from above, they'd notice that they (vaguely)resemble a human hand. The five piers are as follows: Liberty Pier(which goes to the Liberty Garden), Unity Pier(which goes to the Unity Tower, a recent addition to Unova), Prime Pier(which is rumored to have a black ship dock there on occasion), Cruise Dock(which is where the Royal Unova is docked), and a fifth unnamed Pier, which seems to be used for simply relaxing, and enjoying the Ocean air.
Mode Street - This Street is one of the more heavily-commuted streets here in Castelia. On the left side of the street is the famous Casteliacone stand, which is open for most of the year(except in Winter). On the right side is Studio Castelia, which features some of the latest pieces of modern artwork.
Narrow Street - This particular Street doesn't get as much foot traffic as the others do. Perhaps that's why the cafe here - Cafe Sonata, where lovely guitar music can be heard - doesn't have that many frequent visitors.
Gym Street - Like Narrow Street, this Street doesn't have that many people milling about on it. Odds are, they're all in the nearby Gym...
Castelia City Gym - Castelia City is the home of the third-known Gym in the Unova region. A young woman named Sierra Angel is the Leader here, and she specializes in Steel-type pokemon. If you're lucky enough to best her in battle, she'll award you with the Ironclad Badge(and TM -???- ).
Central Plaza - The Plaza, also known as 'Castelia Central Area', is reachable by any of the Streets in the City. A group of Dancers is said to put on shows here to anyone that wants to watch. Also, this is where Unova's Name Rater is(if you're looking to change the name of your pokemon).
MYTH/LORE -
There really isn't any way to get bored while you're in Castelia City. Stay a while, take a look around. You may end up enjoying what you find.
